OK state is a strong favorite when they come into Reser next month. I don't care what that exact number is but it's way high.
Obviously the number has to be what it is based on Ok state having a top 10 passing offense in 2018 and the 536 yards a game beavs gave up last year but that's a perfect storm of end trend data.
For starters I don't see how Oregon State D is NOT substantially better right from the first series. Even with myopia correction eyewear, as someone who has watched too much college football and sports in general, i know rock bottom and i saw it last season. It's not just that 2019 will have second year players in the second year with the new coaches etc. It's not just the significant additions of new players and experienced transfers. It's this:
128 out of 129 in Total Defense
128 out of 129 in Scoring Defense
128 out of 129 in rushing defense stats.
It sounds funny to say but ineptitude of that consistency simply can't be held up over time. Even an upgrade to mediocre in a couple of those categories and it is going to feel like otis night and the days.
Also, Ok state had a top 10 passing offense last year yes they did but there's some hitch in that get along. Tylan wallace was a huge part of that, he was a legitimate top 10 reciever in 2018. But his qb is gone and they are still sorting that one out. Oh yeah they are also bringing a mostly untested O-line OK St also lost 3 OL starters.
I understand the opinions here about not expecting too much based on recent history but that wretched 2018 performance the pokeys are watching? All it's going to take is the mere semblance of an edge rush, or a consistent line penetration, wrapping up on tackles, normal things and they are suddenly not sure of where they are or who they are playing. You see that square of chocolate, you think it's an easy score, you bite into, its BAKERS CHOCOLATE.
